Theatre

The Mission of the Dixie State University Theatre program is: Collaboration, Respect, Creativity. We teach Theatre.

This will be realized by combining comprehensive theatrical training with a strong liberal arts curriculum. Using this knowledge and experience, students will exit the program being able to integrate their knowledge and ongoing research with their insights into the human condition. This mission is available to and provided for any and all DSU students, regardless of major.

No theatrical performance can be complete without an audience. Through its production season, this program will give the Theater student a range of design and performance opportunities. It will provide the general student body with historically and culturally diverse experiences which will broaden their educational experience and it will provide a rich array of theatrical performances for the growth, entertainment and intellectual stimulation of the community at large.

Dixie State University Theatre is a comprehensive college theatre program with an active production program in support of academic activities. The program is structured to meet the following main objectives:

Provide general education theatre course work to fill requirements in fine arts and humanities categories.

Provide a production program to serve as a laboratory in support of theatre curriculum. The production program is designed to create a rich cultural experience for Dixie State University students and to provide the community at large with quality theatre experiences.

Prospective theatre majors choose between a performance emphasis or a technical theatre emphasis. The production program prepares a full season of plays and musicals for performance each year. Serious theatre students are expected to be involved in production activities on a continuous basis. The production program emphasizes development and application of skills, effective collaboration and professional discipline. Serious theatre students should counsel with a theatre faculty member to plan course registration for each semester.
